Is there anything required of me if I taught my son the Qur'an while he was not yet of discernment and he made errors in pronouncing the verses?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father says: The questioner says: I have a small child who is not of discernment. May Allah reward you. I have a small child who is not of discernment, and I taught him the Qur'an. Sometimes he leaves out some verses and does not pronounce them, and he does not pronounce them correctly. What is required of me? Should I leave him in this state?

Answer:
You are in error in teaching him while he is not of discernment. He does not know what he is saying; it is like babbling. Be patient until he is of discernment, and then teach him, if Allah wills, after he reaches discernment.
